> It's more secure and allows a wider more diverse suite of apps to integrate into it.

It's more secure, yes. But since the data stays on the device now, web apps cannot read or write health data anymore. You need to develop a dedicated app to access the data on the device. And the user has to interact with the app, or the data will not be accessible.

E.g. my Withings scale writes my body weight to Google Health Connect. But I need to open the Withings app every time for that to work. The app-developers cannot do this in the background afaik.
(The data flow is: scale -> cloud -> app -> Google Health Connect.)

Another issue I see is: There is no incentive for app developers to write data to Google Health Connect.
Even if you subscribe to the idea of using it as your data-store, you will lose access to the data if a user uninstalls your app. It's only possible to read data up to 30 days in the past, or however long the user has installed your app – hopefully they don't decide to reinstall it.

I really appreciate the inter-connectivity Google Health Connect allows between apps, though.
Run 1/10,000 - 1/100,000 of computations locally, and also send them as tasks to be send remotely. If compare yields difference, repeat both. After, say, 10 tries, blacklist the provider. Of course it will take a lot more nuances to implement that, but that's the general idea. It's a no-brainer.
Effective means "has an effect".

i.e. you cannot put a piece of paper in the box with the words "this is a technical protection mechanism" and claim it is.

But it doesn't mean that what you do has to be infailable, or meet some arbitrary level of doing it's job well, no.
> Shouldn't the drawing layer be concerned with drawing primitives?

CSS is not a drawing layer. The drawing is driven by the DOM, either setup by HTML or updated through JS. CSS only piggyback on it by giving parameters to the painting engine about what to do with dom, essentially overriding the defaults parameters. You can add dom blocks, modify positioning behavior with complex algorithms, even margins are not really trivial.

I don't think this is a great solution, but people started this to be able to modify colors during dom rendering without having to update their HTML code, probably because updating HTML code was not fun at all, but I really think the wrong problem was addressed. Those were the «webmaster» times, so there's also that.

What's with a lot of the mentions of “computer” using what looks like a portmanteau with “retard”?! I know some famous people like Stallman do this, but I don't think it's perceived positively.
Firstly the comparison should be Lisa to Alto/Star, Macintosh is a degree removed.

That being said, I've sat down with both and it's pretty clear both A) how very similar a significant chunk of the elements / components / systems are. And B) how much more advanced the Xerox system was from the Lisa one.

The argument isn't that Lisa (and Macintosh, by proxy) were a direct copy of the Xerox system. It's that by Apple's own arguments against Microsoft in court, the similarity to Xerox is even greater than that between Windows 1.0-3.1 and early Macintosh versions.

The context of the argument matters, it doesn't exist in isolation. It's not like one day people just decided Apple plagiarized Macintosh.
NO. That's the worst way to do almost anything on the Internet, and should be considered a last-line defense, if nothing else can be done. Here, it can be. See my comment above.
I wonder if using the same constant for both multiplications would reduce code size and so could (slightly) speed up computation?

It seems wrong to call it a "job of customers". It's like you wrote a Bitcoin client which didn't verified hashes of transactions, "trusting" everything. Or like serving a website with login feature supporting only HTTP, not HTTPS. It is a very basic feature of whatever software would connect to such services.

If you talk to "regular people", everybody knows ChatGPT, but nobody knows or cares about OpenAI. And most of them don‘t even really know that name. They call it ChatUuuuhm, ChatThingy, Chad Gippity, or similar.

Most CSS animations aren't hardware accelerated. Only a few values like opacity and transform.

Updating the DOM (as in innerHTML) is always expensive because it triggers layout. This is true whether you're doing it from JS or a CSS trick like on this page.

Finally this approach is using CSS custom properties. These are slow - slower than JS for most things.

If you stop all animations on this page and profile it via Chrome you can see this in effect. The root node is animating a CSS variable. 117 elements have their style recalculated. Every frame - yet no animations are running. There's also a tiny paint triggered too, obviously there's been no changes so it is tiny in this instance, but a paint is always triggered when a CSS variable updates.

This is why animating x and y separately via CSS and a style like `translate(var(--x) var(--y))` would be worse than animating them via JS ala Framer Motion/GSAP.

This is also effectively the same crime that got Donald Trump a $450 million penalty in the recent New York civil fraud case.

To get those five mortgages, maybe you could just exaggerate the value of the property by 5x? Lenders would think there’s ample collateral, but in fact the property is over-leveraged.

Unlike Hwang, Trump’s scheme didn’t blow up and result in massive losses for the banks. But the underlying fraud was the same.

> They didn't ask employees to destroy evidence but to avoid retaining evidence in the first place.

Once evidence exists, not retaining it involves deleting it. So you’ve simply rephrased what they are accused of and framed it as if that is a denial.

Which, you know, is kind of all there is to spin with when there are no favorable facts, but why spin for Google?

This is extremely dishonest unless you carefully and methodically link that high cost to renewables. Iowa is a 60% wind grid with cheaper prices than the national average. Does that one data point make wind energy good, by your logic? This is a serious topic that deserves more than silly internet debate tactics.
Everyone has to buy from ASML, and even if someone wants one, there's a wait list.

The sheer complexity and costs means there's no real possibility of a competitor. Nor would a billion dollar fab want to experiment with a new company.

I use CMake when I have to, and XMake when I want to.

I use CLion for its CMake integration, and recently sought out XMake integration for it as well .. this works so well, I just don't see myself ever going back to CMake willfully.

Its just a huge difference in the semantics and ontology required to maintain projects with these tools.

Nintendo's argument in the filing was that it effectively did, as the website instructed people on how to extract the keys, and that the software did real time decryption for which there was no legitimate source of keys.

That didn't get tested in court, but I suspect it would have succeeded (this is not legal advice).
Actually cryptocurrency perhaps more resemble a pyramid scheme because early investors profit disproportionately from latecomers, who buy at inflated prices. Transaction fees play a key role, as miners or validators earn significant fees, often benefiting early adopters with large holdings who promote network usage. Thus, high fees primarily enrich those already invested, leaving newcomers to bear the cost.
I have a set of French Vereco (now Duralex I believe) dishes and bowls[1] from the 60s or 70s which I'm the third generation in my family to use and own.

The tempered glass is almost indestructible as well. I can only remember one time when one of them broke when I dropped it (like with Superfest it'd smash into a million pieces).

You regularly find similar Vereco glassware in thrift stores and flea markets. Mainly because it's almost indestructible. Mine are getting a bit scratched up by now so I'm considering getting new tableware but it's kind of hard replacing something that still works perfectly fine.

Although the intentions behind DEI are good such a top down approach doesn't seem to get the desired results (i.e optimal use of everyone's talent, irrespective of their colour, sex and/or identify).

Unfortunately the name (and perhaps ideas?) are now tainted and I hope this doesn't impact the bottom up approaches (i.e support kids and young adults with extra classes, trainings, and in general just being chill and accepting about people) which probably should have been the focus from the start.
The animation at the bottom of the page is very impressive. It looks very much like a <video> rather than <div> elements.

> [...] making computers burn CPU cycles computing (mostly unused) hashes seems to be something we humans want to do since around 15 years ago.

Keep in mind that there's a big difference between cryptographic hash functions and the kind of hash functions investigated here.
In the short term obviously yes, I can already feel myself veering away from new things that have @unstableAPIs.

The framework designer may have to design for users and LLM teachers this time. Designers should make it so logical jumps aren't to big like kotlin was back in the day and lagged in all code LLMs metrics until they made synthetic steps to "explain" it to the LLM.

You can always add in the docs as RAG context later, maybe with an LLM synthetic booster explainer segment.
> Will this thing help find better cryptographic hash functions?

Very, very unlikely.
> If you’re ordered to retain communications, sure. And in a civil court, it’s fair to conclude adversely if a party’s messages disappear suspiciously.

This is civil court.

I think anti-trust laws are unjust for precisely that reason: they punish people solely for being successful.

I also offered an alternative solution to private interests capturing natural monopolies: the state subsidizing a public option that can do that. My preference would be state funding for the development of open source software and decentralized platforms that can substitute for proprietary software and centrally managed platforms.

In fact, the state is ideally situated to fund this kind of public goods development, as it is the only legal entity with a broad enough tax collective apparatus to capture the gains from such investments.

As for essential/non-essential, perhaps you're right in terms of terminology. In any case, internet search is a widely used and extremely valuable service that enhances quality of life.

>such a policy is generally non-controversial outside of the most extreme forms of libertarian political philosophies (which unfortunately, are disproportionately prevalent in big tech and likely to get the whole industry in serious hot water).

Where did you get that feeling from?

Wind turbine manufacturers are engineering heavy organizations. The competition is fierce. Only those manufacturers with the best R&D have survived.

From time to time you see radically new designs that never get anywhere because they are just so much worse than the 3-blade design that won out.

The main development area right now is probably floating foundations for off-shore turbines.

Residential-scale wind turbines are difficult - they need good height, require maintenance, are noisy. They are a niche product. Yet, there are several manufacturers, and again competition is fierce.
Were the intentions behind colonialism good, too, in your opinion?

If you see yourself (or your group) as a victim it's easy to rationalize rather extreme measures to "fix" the world.

The intentions behind a lot of these things are good but the sensitivity of the subject has made it hard(er) to have a healthy discussion about these issues.
I literally quoted the article's suggestion to get an old-fashioned camera instead.

You don't know everyone's situation. If you are at college, you hear there's going to be a demonstration tomorrow, which you want be part of, you don't really have the time or resources to find an old camera, or old phone, or burner phone.

It's all about risk management. If you think it's going to be relatively safe, with what you think is no chance that the college president will send the police or other paramilitary force, then you probably can take your phone and use it to your advantage, while doing what you can to protect yourself in case things go south.
A pure fusion bomb is also very hard to detect compared to a fission-fusion device.
The model of physics itself has changed multiple times to explain physics, at great reservation mind you. Relativity required massive changes in thinking to what we considered physically possible, as did quantum physics (things can just happen by chance without further reason, whaaat?)

And in the grand scheme of things, our quest for knowledge has had a very very short timespan. Insisting that the mode of thought that has worked for a few hundred years must persist to eternity is not wise.

Assuming the standard model of physics will explain consciousness without any fundamental alternations is just as big of an assumption as the assumption that there is more to the standard model of physics. No different than having assumed newtonian physics could have explained relativity.

As far as I can see, current understanding of physics has no conceivable way of explaining how a system suddenly becomes capable of experiencing feeling.

And neither is it scientific to deny what is so readily observable to every human being.

Lastly, it would seem that you agree that our model of physics is in itself an illusion, within the framework of our conscious experience. On one hand it would appear you say, our conscious experience of reality is the sole way to find truth, and the other, that our conscious experience is flawed and experience of qualia can be discarded entirely. If we are to say "it only appears that you feel pain", how is this different than to say "it only appears that objects move"?

The proposal here is that your flawed, conscious experience can produce a truth of an "external" reality, whose laws are capable of forming the vary thing which is producing this flawed perception.
In my experience, this already starts at a too high level. New devs these days don't even seem to come with a basic idea of what version control is. They think of git more as a workflow used to get code into production. This is why I wrote this article: https://blog.gpkb.org/posts/git-is-a-version-control-system/
By setting prices the algorithm is in direct control of the portion of supply that is available to meet the demand.

Even if you built additional 25% of more properties the algorithm can take 20% off the market with a single pricing decision for months before landlords decide the vaccancies are not worth it.
The American focus on race is a bit insane to outsiders. Putting such a big focus on race in university applications is just weird. Even worse, having top universities openly discriminate against people based on their race or heritage with affirmative action or similar policies, all in the name of equality, is unbelievable to Europeans like me. What the hell is wrong with the US if a person has a worse chance to be accepted into uni just because they happen to be born Asian? How is no one in DEI committees seeing the utter hypocrisy here?

I firmly believe that the US is your best chance when you look for a country with equality and acceptance regarding race, religion, and culture. A lot of my US friends experienced a dire wake-up call when visiting and finding their belief that Europe is more accepting and less conservative than the US to be dead wrong.
So what are the actual statements being banned? The article gives zero useful details.
The best part of this article is:

Ruby Wang... did not mind the changes. "To be honest with you, because I'm not from this country it doesn't matter because it's the same pronunciation," she added.
I think the more important question is: are the intentions to get actual results, or just to sidetrack anything that would take actual effort with 'but we have DEI statements'?
That’s what I wondered, too. I feel the pricing page should be like a currency trader, showing a list of sell at/buy at.
A classic example of this would be how some roles require endless spreadsheets, or individual updates to a CRM tool like Pipedrive.

If we're suggesting Greek poetry I would like to suggest a more recent poet from my city who passed a few years ago, his name was Dinos Christianopoulos -- (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinos_Christianopoulos, some of his poems are translated here -- https://thegeby.wordpress.com/dinos-christianopoulos/)

I've heard many stories about him from locals. It appears that he was a vibrant member of the local community. One of Christianopoulos' characteristics was that we was never scared to say his opinion, and he had strong opinions. He also had some interesting opinions about other poets. When asked his opinion about other poets, he'd usually reply with something like "Interesting guy, but meh." He'd have that opinion even for some of the greatest poets. Cavafy is probably excluded though, as he appears to have liked him. In an interview, the interviewer asked him something about the current government. He said, "I don't even know who the current prime minister is." So it appears that he wasn't involved in politics much. Mostly ideologies. (Some of this information may be inaccurate and I very much apologize)

Along with that I'd like to suggest another local poet who is a bit more known: Manolis Anagnostakis -- (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manolis_Anagnostakis, poems: https://lsa.umich.edu/content/dam/modgreek-assets/Home/Windo...)

I would highly suggest reading his Wikipedia page or whatever biography you may find about him. His story is super interesting.
